Alert Purge WLST Script

Question

All,
I just wanted to share a WLST script I wrote that will purge old ALSB alerts older than 'n' days. Enjoy.
-John
import sys
# Usage:
# java weblogic.WLST deleteAlerts.py url username password keep_days
# eg, following will deleteAlerts older than 'n' days from the ALSB Alerts
# Example:
#   java weblogic.WLST deleteAlerts.py t3://localhost:7001 weblogic weblogic 2
def getParam(pos, default):
  value=None
  try:
    value=sys.argv[pos]
  except:
    value=default
  return value
url = getParam(1, "t3://localhost:7001")
user = getParam(2, "weblogic")
password = getParam(3, "weblogic")
days = Integer(getParam(4, "2")).intValue() # need to do this because the ARGs are strings.
connect(user,password,url)
now=System.currentTimeMillis()
startTime=0
endTime=(now - days*3600*24*1000)
serverRuntime()
print "Deleting records older than", days, "days old from ALSB Alerts"
alsbAlerts = cmo.getWLDFRuntime().getWLDFAccessRuntime().lookupWLDFDataAccessRuntime('CUSTOM/com.bea.wli.monitoring.alert')
numDeleted = alsbAlerts.deleteDataRecords(startTime,endTime,"")
print "Number deleted =", numDeleted
disconnect()----------------------------
